3rd Annual Biomarker Conference

08-09 February 2018, San Diego - USA

With growing pressures ofincreasing success rates for FDA approved biomarkers as well as companion diagnostics testshas seen an outgrowth in drug discovery companies to invest in novel strategies for biomarker discovery.

The major challenges faced in securing these approvals include identifying clinical relevance in the context of therapeutic targets and novel technologies to measure disease activity, reproducibility, variability issues- and finally translation of discoveries to FDA approved clinical tests.

The 3rd Annual Biomarker Conference takingplace on the 8th and 9th of February 2018, in San Diego-CA, USA, aims to gather experts from pharma, bio-pharmacompanies and research institutes to discuss current challenges and opportunities in therapeutic biomarkers, CDx, regulations, reimbursement models and disease specific applications of biomarkers.

DATA4CURE’s Biomedical Intelligence® Cloud combines systems biology with an advanced semantic AI integration engine to turn big omics and clinical data into a continuously updated biomedical knowledge graph. By actively mining thousands of public and proprietary datasets and millions of biomedical publications this technology discovers genes, pathways and networks underlying disease and treatment response, merging diverse pieces of evidence to increase statistical power and facilitating continuous translation of data to knowledge. Leading pharmaceutical companies use the platform every day to search for new targets, repurpose drugs for new indications, identify disease subtypes, and predict drug response and resistance in patients.

Aural Analytics

Any intervention for neurological damage or disease requires objective outcome measures to assess effectiveness. Aural Analytics delivers these measures based on analysis of patients' complex behaviors. We utilize decades of research which show that changes in complex behaviors correspond to changes in neurological health. This provides a powerful alternative to the current method: subjective evaluation by clinical experts. We provide outcome measures both for pharmaceutical company clinical trials and for clinicians working directly with patients.

Millipore SiGMa

As your research uncovers the significant role of more and more biomarkers in both normal and disease states, you need a reliable partner for quality assays and consistent performance. We not only offer you the largest portfolio of biomarker assays—including ELISAs, RIAs and MILLIPLEX® MAP-- our kits and reagents provide you with consistent, high-quality tools so that you can do your best work while saving time, labor and cost.

Cofactor

Cofactor is a biotechnology and software company using RNA as the foundation for providing a better understanding of disease. We’ve developed tools to quantify complex molecular profiles and provide comprehensive characterization of immune response. We offer translational and clinical assays, database development, and custom assay design with a CAP/CLIA-accredited RNA sequencing laboratory. Leading the industry in bringing RNA-based assays into the clinic, Cofactor is a trusted partner for immune-oncology and precision medicine.
